    The controller has a good grip on the underbelly and I love the sleek design and color. So far it's holding up on my more aggressive games (i.e. Halo or Minecraft Dungeons).

    The controller works really well but the built quality feels very cheap. They couldve done a better job with the thumb sticks. This controller will work with the Series X as well.
